Services
Custom Prosthetics
Our custom prosthetics restore mobility and body image using advanced technologies like microprocessor knees and myoelectric hands. We create personalized solutions for amputees of all activity levels, from athletes to geriatric patients. The process involves comprehensive assessments, cast modeling, and trial fittings to ensure optimal functionality and comfort.
Orthotic Devices
Custom orthotics address biomechanical issues through devices like ankle-foot orthoses, spinal braces, and diabetic foot supports. Our on-site lab fabricates solutions for musculoskeletal rehabilitation, focusing on pain relief, posture correction, and injury prevention. Each device undergoes multiple adjustments to ensure proper fit and performance.
Post-Mastectomy Fitting
Certified fitters provide breast prostheses and mastectomy bras that restore natural symmetry and confidence. We offer silicone forms and compression garments, with funding assistance through PharmaCare and private insurers. Personalized fittings ensure comfort and proper support for post-surgical recovery.
Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics treat conditions like plantar fasciitis and diabetic neuropathy. Using non-weight-bearing casts, we create devices that improve alignment, reduce pressure points, and enhance mobility. Materials are selected for optimal support and compatibility with daily footwear.
Knee Braces
We provide hinged, wraparound, and post-surgical knee braces tailored to injury type and activity level. Custom-fitted supports stabilize joints, prevent re-injury, and facilitate healing through proper alignment. Options include osteoarthritis-specific designs and sports medicine applications.
